- A probe-sized instrument specifically engineered for advanced periodontal debridement in posterior areas and complex root morphologies
Uses
- Deep Periodontal Debridement:
- Specifically designed for accessing and debriding periodontal pockets greater than 5mm
- Posterior Scaling:
- The curved design is optimized for adaptation to the distal and mesial surfaces of molars and premolars
- Complex Anatomy:
- Ideal for reaching difficult-to-access areas such as furcations, root concavities, and tight interproximal spaces
- Subgingival Calculus Removal:
- Used to remove subgingival deposits that standard straight tips cannot effectively reach
Features
- Probe-Sized Design:
- Features a thin, tapered profile that mimics a periodontal probe for easier insertion and better adaptation in narrow pockets
- Right-Curved Shank:
- Uniquely designed with a right-hand bend in the shank to improve access to specific posterior tooth quadrants
- S-Series Compatibility:
- Fully compatible with Hu-Friedy Symmetry IQ® (3000 and 4000), Satelec®, and NSK® piezoelectric generators
- Proprietary Metallurgy:
- Crafted from a specialized stainless steel blend that optimizes vibration for superior scaling efficiency and durability
- Guardian™ Wrench:
- Includes a patented, torque-limiting wrench that doubles as a protective carrier for safe handling and sterilization in the autoclave
Benefits
- Enhanced Clinical Results:
- Allows clinicians to more thoroughly debride difficult-to-reach areas, leading to better periodontal outcomes
- Improved Adaptation:
- The curved shank provides superior adaptation to the root's complex anatomy, ensuring maximum efficacy when the terminal 2–3mm are in contact with the tooth
- Staff Safety:
- The Guardian Wrench provides a safe, touch-free connection to the handpiece and protects against accidental sharps injuries during reprocessing
- Optimized Vibration:
- The harmony between the stainless steel material and the piezoelectric generator ensures efficient deposit removal with less effort
- Patient Comfort:
- The ultra-thin tip reduces tissue distention during subgingival scaling, often resulting in a more comfortable experience for the patient
